Rt. Hon. Sir GEORGE FOSTER:: 
NATURALIZATION - BELGIANS, FRENCH, TURKS, GERMANS.
Mr. DESLAURIERS:: 1.	Is it a fact that the Government has refused naturalization papers and the granting

of title deeds of property to certain French and Belgians in Canada who, at the commencement of hostilities in the last Great War, had not completed the required five years of residential qualifications, but nevertheless proceeded overseas to join regiments of allied countries in the defense of the flag?
2.	If so, to how many of such citizens of Canada have naturalization papers and property deeds been refused during the period extending from the 11th of November, 1918, to this date?
3.	Is it a fact that on presentation of a certificate issued by the Secretary of State for Canada certain Turks, Germans and other subjects of enemy countries have been granted property rights and the rights of the franchise since the signing of the Armistice?


Rt. Hon. Mr. SIFTON:: 1.	A despatch from the Colonial Office, dated the 21st April, 1915, forwarded a note from the French Ambassador in London requesting that French citizens should not be naturalized during the war. By an Order in Council, dated the 3rd June, 1915, it was directed that in so far as the issue of certificates under the Naturalization Act, 1914, was concerned, the request of the French Ambassador would be acceded to. Similar requests were received from the Russian and Italian Governments. In these circumstances the Secretary of State, in his discretion, decided not to issue certificates' of naturalization to allies during the war. However, since the ratification of the Treaty of Peace with Germany certificates of naturalization have been issued to all applicants who have complied with the conditions laid down by the Naturalization Act, 1919.
As to the granting of patent to homesteaders on Dominion lands who left -Canada to serve in the forces of allied nations before they had completed the five years required for naturalization, it has been decided in such cases to allow patent to issue without demanding a certificate of naturalization, and in any case where a demand has been made for such certificate of naturalization steps are being taken to proceed with the issue of patent, provided the performance of duties in other respects have been proven in the usual way.
2.	In so far as naturalization is concerned, the request of the Allied Powers was complied with.
As to refusal of property deeds, the Department of the Interior is able to trace one case only. It has now been ruled in this case that the issue of patent will not be withheld, provided proof is submitted that the settlement conditions have been fulfilled.
3.	Certificates of naturalization have been granted to Turks of Syrian and Armenian
origin since the Armistice, but no such certificates have been issued to persons of German origin.
As regards the issue of patents for homesteads, it may be stated that 10 George V, chapter 13, provides a means whereby alien homesteaders, who have completed their settlement duties, but who are debarred from naturalization for a period of ten years from the close of the war, may secure patents by showing that they are qualified for naturalization in all other respects.


BONAVENTURE COUNTY PENSIONERS.
Hon. Mr. MARCIL (Bonaventure):: 1.	How many residents of Bonaventure County are receiving pensions and allowances?
2.	What are the names, place of residence and respective amounts received by said persons?


George Eulas Foster: With reference to this and kindred questions, the Board of Pension Commissioners are constituted according to an Act; they present their reports to Parliament and such information as they bring down will be given then. It would cause an infinity of trouble and expense to get this information now as to the names, place of residence and respective amount of pensions received by persons in all the different localities.

2.	Is it the intention of the Government to exclude any or all of the Hearst publications from Canada? If so, when will such action be taken and in regard to what papers and magazines?
George Eulas Foster: The
Government has no record of the names of papers and magazines known as the Hearst publications which circulate in Canada. At the present time the Government has no legislative power sufficient to enable it to exclude the Hearst publications and maga-



zines. The matter is now and has been engaging the attention of the Government.

MR. J. L. McNICHOL.
*Mr. CASGEAIN:: 1.	Has Mr. J. L. McNichol been dismissed by the Board of Commerce?
2 If so, for what reason?


George Eulas Foster: In reference to this and kindred questions,-the Board of Commerce is constituted 'under an Act in which its authorities and duties are laid down. It is in effect a court of law, and the Government has no records of its particular proceedings. It makes a report according to law; that report is in course of preparation and will be before the House in about two weeks when, I imagine, most of the information that is asked for will he found therein.
Question dropped.

upon the importation of newsprint paper manufactured by some of the mills?	.
2.	Has the Government received any communication, written or oral, from the State Department at Washington or from the Foreign Office in London in regard thereto?


George Eulas Foster: I imagine this question is wrongly put and that the word "importation" should be "exportation." Perhaps, with the' consent of the House, the question may be amended by substituting the word "exportation" for the word "importation," and the information will then lbe brought down.


Mr.   SPEAKEB@: I will see that the change is made accordingly. I believe it is a clerical error.

6.	Died of disease, 16.
7.	Ho information is available at present.
8.	$3,036 payable to dependents of deceased soldiers. In this connection it should be noted that as there were no "wounded" casualties reported from the Canadian Expeditionary Force to Russia none of the personnel of that force would be entitled to pensions awarded by the Board of Pension Commissioners. It is, however, impossible to state at present whether pensions are being paid for other disabilities which members of that force might have incurred during their military service. Under the Board's present classification of disability pensions a distinction has been made between "theatre of war" and "non theatre" pensioners only, and Russian cases would come under the first mentioned category. To segregate the Russian pensionable disability cases (assuming that there are such) would involve the examination of some one hundred thousand files, which would require a considerable length of time to complete.

1,	2, 3 and 4. Mackenzie avenue, city of Ottawa, was transferred to corporation of the city of Ottawa by Order in Council of May 21, 1897. The Ottawa Improvement Commission have, however, included this avenue in their driveway scheme and have asked the city for co-operation in the improvements that must necessarily be made. It will be necessary in the first instance to obtain from the city a transfer of the avenue to the commission by lease or otherwise so that the commission may be in a position to enforce their traffic regulations.

*Mt. CAHILL:: 1.	Is the Minister of Railways aware that between Nottaway and ILeReine stations, on the Transcontinental' railway, there are sixty
thousand cords of pulpwood along the railway track awaiting shipment, and that there are in the same district some twenty million feet of lumber also awaiting shipment by rail, and that during the course of the summer it is estimated that sixty million feet will1 be added to this quantity?
2.	Is the minister aware that it will require 6,500 cars to carry this lumber to market, that fifty cars only were supplied during the month of February for the purpose of transporting this pulpwood and lumber?,
3.	If so, is it the intention of the minister to have the matter investigated and to order additional cars to toe sent to those particular places to relieve the situation ?
4.	If so, when?


Hon. Mr. REID:: 1.	The Canadian Government railways are aware that there is a considerable quantity of pulpwood and lumber to be shipped from stations between Nottaway and LeReine.
2.	The records show that 238 cars were loaded between these points during the month of February.
3.	The matter is being watched and everything possible is being done bo supply the cars required, but a large portion of this material is for points in the United States for which American cars aTe required, and the railways cannot allow more of their equipment to go there with shipments of this kind and be held there indefinitely, in view of the number of cars that have been previously sent to the other side of the line. Orders have been placed for all the American cars required to take care of this business, through the Railway Association of Canada, with the Car Service Commission of the American Railroad Association at Washington,, (which is at present handling car distribution for American lines, and have been pressing them to hurry equipment forward. Additional cars have recently been ordered to that territory both from the Canadian Government line and another railway which participates in the haul and should supply cars.

EXPERIMENTAL FARM SYSTEM.


Mr. DONALD SUTHERLAND (South Oxford) moved:: That, in the opinion of this House, it is expedient that a more general, equitable and uniform system of Experimental Farms and substations should be established throughout Canada, and that the wholly inadequate and disproportionate number given the Province of Ontario in the system shall be dealt with and provided for at the present Session of Parliament.	.
He said:	Mr. Speaker,, in asking the
House to approve of this resolution it is only right that some evidence should be advanced in support of it and, in that respect, I would like to touch upon some features connected, with agricultural experimental work in Canada that may not be new to the House. There is nothing indefinite or ambiguous about the resolution. If the allegations contained therein are correct then I think the request is so reasonable that this House will have no hesitation in granting it.
I do not want to be understood as disapproving of the experimental farm system. On the contrary, I believe that there never was a time in the history of this country when research work was so necessary as at present in connection with the agricultural industry, as well as the application of that research work, in order to overcome some of the difficulties with which we now have to contend. This resolution points to what I consider to be a very great injustice to one of the old provinces which entered the Confederation now forming the Dominion of Canada.
It needs no argument to convince the House that a great deal of work must be done in new provinces which the provinces themselves are not in a position to do; and those who were responsible for the consummation of the Confederation of Canada, realizing this important fact, very wisely made due allowance for educational work along agricultural lines both by the provincial and by the federal governments. This matter was taken up on numerous occasions before a final and definite understanding was arrived at, by which both federal and provincial governments have the right to carry on educational work of an educational and experimental nature. In 1886 the first system of experimental farms was
established in Canada, and the central farm at Ottawa was intended to serve the purposes of the whole of Canada as well as the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, with the director of the system located there. There were four other farms in addition to this, namely, one at Nappan, in Nova Scotia, for that province and the province of New Brunswick; one at Brandon for the province of Manitoba; one at Indian Head, which is now in Saskatchewan; and one at Agassiz, in British Columbia. These have from time to time been added to by other farms and sub-stations, until at the present time there are twenty-four farms, six sub-stations and forty demonstration stations throughout the Dominion of Canada. The work in the newer provinces has spread very rapidly, and there have undoubtedly been good results from the operation of the system. I have taken this matter up at almost every session since I have been a member of the House of Commons, and to show that the question, so far as the apparent injustice to Ontario of the matter is concerned, is not by any means a new one, I may quote a few paragraphs from Hansard of previous years. In 1912, when the agricultural estimates were before the House, I asked this question of the minister :
Are there any experimental farms being established in Ontario?
The minister replied:
We have not been doing any experimental farm work there for the reason that the Ontario Government have been covering that field themselves. What may be done in future I cannot say, but we hope to go into that matter with the various provinces.
I may say, in passing, that at that time the province of Ontario was compelled to build its own colonization railways without any subsidy from the Dominion Government, and the matter was before Parliament at that session. I referred to the subject, and the question of experimental farms, in these terms:
It is another instance, I presume, of Ontario being compelled to do work of this nature themselves without assistance from the Federal Government, and at the same time assist in maintaining a similar status in the other provinces. I would like the Government to consider the advisability of establishing experimental stations in Northern Ontario, also one in Western Ontario.
Nothing was done. In the session of 1914 when the estimate for the experimental farms were being passed, I said:
When you consider the large amount compared with former years that is being spent for experimental purposes and realize that

there are only forty acres and a very trifling expenditure devoted to experimental purposes in the province of Ontario you will come to the conclusion that some change must be made in this respect, and made in the near future.
Nothing, however, was done. In the following year I again brought the matter up on the Estimates:
Session after session I have taken this matter up and have urged upon the Government the necessity of doing justice to the province of Ontario in this respect. I am glad to say that since the last session the Minister of Agriculture has made arrangements to establish a demonstration farm in northern Ontario.
The minister made the following reply:
X desire to say just a word in answer to the remarks of my hon. friend from Oxford (Mr. Sutherland) and the remark of my hon. friend from Muskoka as to these farms in the work of the Agricultural Department generally. I hope that ithe hon. members understand that there is no east or no west in what we are doing. I happen to be a western man myself, my home being much further west than that of my hon. friend from Moosejaw or the other hon. gentlemen who have spoken. I was also an Ontario man. I think that everybody in this House will agree that what has been done for agriculture should be done so far as possible equitably throughout the country. It is true we are making this initial step in demonstration work in southern Saskatchewan and southern Alberta, but that does not mean that northern Alberta, northern Saskatchewan, Ontario and other parts will he left out. As the work develops and when the opportunities warrant,
I shall be glad to keep in mind what my hon. friends have said.
The method I have adopted this session is somewhat different from that which I have pursued in the past. I have moved a resolution which, in view of the situation that confronts 'the country to-day, obviously proves the urgent necessity for immediate action on the part oif the Government in this matter. Let one point out that there were at the outset five farms in the system and while the central farm at Ottawa was supposed to take care of the two provinces of Quebec and Ontario, the work has been extended considerably since that time. As I have said, there are now twenty-four farms and six s^b-st-ations in the system, and forty demonstration stations, and not one of these stations are in the province of Ontario. _ The work of the central farm at Ottawra is just as much applicable to the province of Quebec as it is to Ontario ; for that matter, it applies to all the otheT provinces. We have in western Ontario, it is true, a small demonstration station! comprising an area of forty-nine acres devoted to the growing of tobacco; and six hundred miles to the north of that farm there is another demonstration farm where the interned prisoners have been employed 
in clearing land during the past two or three years. This farm will serve a very useful purpose in that northern country, but it^ by no means represents the agricultural industry of the old settled portion of southern Ontario. The farm at Harrow in the county of Essex is five hundred miles southwest of the farm at Ottawa, and I mention this distance to show the great difference that must exist between that part of the province and eastern Ontario. I may call the attention of hon. members to the products of the province of Ontario and the place which that province occupies in supplying the necessaries of life.
According to th5 last census of Canada, the population of the Dominion was 7,206,643, of which the province of Ontario bad 2,523,274, or a little over 35 per cent of the total. The Bureau of Statistics for the year 1918, the latest available, gives the field crop of -Canada for that year as $1,367,909,970, of which Ontario produced $384,013,900, or a little over 28 per cent of the total field crop of Canada. The livestock of Canada were valued at very nearly the same amount as the field crop for that year, being $1,326,766,000, of -which Ontario had $369,111,000, or 28.80 per cent of the total for Canada.
With respect to some of the tender fruits -fruits not grown on any large scale at any of the experimental farms, although they are to a small extent on some of the farms in British Columbia-in which certain sections of Ontario specialize in and produce immense quantities of, I would like to point out that according to the census statistics 99.7 per cent of the total grape crop of Canada is grown in the province of Ontario. Without any assistance whatever 'from the federal experimental farms, but with the aid of the Provincial 'Government, this production has been developed by the people of the province of Ontario. Then, too, over 90 per cent of the total crop of peaches grown in Canada is produced in the province of Ontario. Of strawberries 70 per cent, of apples 60 per cent; and 99.8 per cent of the total crop of red clover seed grown in the Dominion is -yielded by the province of Ontario. This production of clover seed in itself would justify something being done in view of the fact that at the present time the farmers are paying from $46 to $48 per bushel for seed with which to seed their land this spring, a condition of affairs that demands the attention of the Government and of those who are conducting the experimental farms of Canada, because it is a fact well known to every one

engaged in agriculture that without growing clover you cannot carry on agricultural operations for any considerable length of time except at an enormous expenditure for fertilizers. There is nothing to equal, and certainly there is nothing as cheap, as clover for maintaining fertility of soil and enriching impoverished land. Yet with respect to that production of 99.8 per cent of clover seed in Ontario, apparently the work is not being developed in Western Ontario by the aid of experimental farms. Again 42^ per cent of the tobacco grown in Canada and 85 per cent of the corn produced comes from the province of Ontario. Now, some one may say that that province is doing this work itself, and that the Provincial Government has been helping greatly along those lines. I grant that, but while it is the case, as far as. Ontario is concerned I have never yet heard of any one from that province who took the slightest exception to a generous expenditure for experimental work in the newer provinces of Canada. There is not, nor has there been, any desire on the part of the people of Ontario to in any way curtail such expenditure as would assist in developing and opening up the newer parts of the country. I do not like to make comparisons, but some times it is necessary in order to illustrate the point that one may have in view. The provinces of Ontario and Quebec are contiguous to each other. They contain immense areas of rich and fertile agricultural lands and the conditions in that respect are so similar that it is no wonder that when the Central Experimental Farm was established here in 1886 that farm was deemed sufficient to meet the requirements of both provinces. It is quite true that previous to that time some experimental work had been done in the province of Ontario. The Hon. John Carling, afterwards Sir John Carling, who was Commissioner of Agriculture in the Government of Ontario, in 1874 established the present Agricultural College and Experimental Farm at the city of Guelph. Later on he was Minister of Agriculture in the Federal Government, when the original system of experimental farms were established in Canada. But while we now have these farms, and practically all the provinces have their own agricultural colleges, and experimental farms in connection therewith, the situation at present is so entirely different from what it was at that time that I think I am justified in calling your attention to the fact that Ontario does more than meet the demands of the other provinces for assistance by the Department of Agriculture in that practically one-half of the customs revenue of Canada is paid by the people of Ontario, or 48.92 per cent. Yet she has to undertake and pay for the experimental work done in the province, besides bearing one-half the expense of the work of the other provinces. I have already pointed out that in addition to the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa a tobacco growing station has been established in the county of Essex, and there is also a demonstration station at Kapuskasing, where alien prisoners were interned during the war and towards whose maintenance and payment a considerable portion of the expenditure for Ontario is attributed. But the two stations referred to do not in any sense meet the needs of the great agricultural industry in old Ontario, because tobacco can hardly be considered as one of the necessaries so essential towards answering the requirements of the people under the high cost of living at the present time. Let me point out that in the province of Quebec, in addition to thirteen demonstration farms, there aTe six experimental farms. In Manitoba there are two, in Saskatchewan three, in Alberta two, in British Columbia four, in Nova Scotia two, in New Brunswick one, in Prince Edward Island one, and finally there is the Central Experimental Farm in this city, which contributes to the demands of the Dominion as a whole.
I might remind the House that a very generous amount has been voted from year to year for the upkeep of these farms. According to the last public accounts I find that the total cost of our Experimental Farms for the year 1918-19 was $1,024,310. The cost of farms in the province of Ontario, excluding the Central at Ottawa, including the clearing of the land at Kapus-kasing, was $47,968. In the adjoining province of Quebec, where conditions are very similar the cost was $177,624. I would like the House to note the difference in respect to the amounts spent in those two old provinces where it is fair to make a comparison.
An Experimental Farm system to be effective must be able to demonstrate that agriculture can be carried on at a profit; if it cannot there must be something radically wrong. I do not contend for a moment that a farm system conducted for purely experimental purposes should be expected to show a profit; but I do contend that where you have large farms, such as we ' have in connection with this system, run-

ning from 400 to 1,000 acres, that they should be considered as being conducted on a commercial basis, and under such conditions if they cannot demonstrate what they were founded to inculcate in the minds of the people, namely, the cost of production profit or loss of the undertaking, then I say those farms have failed to .function as they were intended to by those who established them.
The cost of our Experimental Farms has been increasing very rapidly during the last few years, labour being one of the principal items of increase. I want to call the attention of the House to the wages paid for labourers on these twenty-four farms- which does not include the forty demonstration stations scattered throughout the country-representing a total acreage of 11,270-quite a considerable area when we recall that food was so essential during the war years. The total amount paid out for farm labour on these farms during the year 1018 amounted to no less than $452,388.58, which does not include the remuneration of the permanent staff-the professors and foremen who were doing experimental work. The amount expended for form labour on the Central Experimental Farm here of 467 acres amounted to $120,525. I have already pointed out that $18,008 was paid out in the province of Ontario Farms for farm labour, and $71,471 in the province of Quebec in connection with the 2,397 acres devoted to experimental work in that province; in Manitoba $21,383; Saskatchewan, $36,000; Alberta, $30,000; British Columbia, $52,000; Nova Scotia, $39,000; New Brunswick, $23,000; Prince Edward Island, $39,000, or a total of $452,388. The salaries under Civil Government of the Department of Agriculture at Ottawa, including those employed on these farms represents a further sum of $598,433.
Against this expenditure I might point out that the revenue from those farms totalling 11,270 acres amounting to only $102,607.44. It may be urged that a great deal of this work was devoted to experimental purposes. I grant that is so, but there is altogether too wide a margin between the heavy expenditure for farm labour and the 6mall revenue received .during the most critical year of the war for it to be passed over lightly. 11.270 acres with a staff of workmen such as apparently was never employed even during times of peace, should certainly show a better return. In my opinion the returns were altogether inadequate compared with the amount of money expended for labour on those farms.

I want to say with all the force or which I am capable that I believe there is something radically wrong in connection with the whole system as it is being conducted. I believe we have gotten away from the idea which animated those who established these farms, and in my opinion a frank discussion of the situation will bring about beneficial results. It is not a pleasant task for any one to criticize, but I have* paid very close attention to this matter for many years and I am forced to the conclusion that the present Experimental Farm system instead of giving a lead to the farmers of this country more often are simply endeavouring to copy methods which have been initiated by our most practical and energetic farmers.
I have already pointed out that the field crop of the Dominion for the year under consideration amounted to $1,367,909,970, and that the value of our live stock industry was about the same figure. ,1 have always believed that the people of a country that exports its raw materials are bound to be hewers of wood and drawers of water. Our exports should be the finished product, and I have not been one of those who have been lamenting the fact that Great Britain, in order to protect her home industry, has debarred the cattle of Canada from entering her markets as feeders. It is in the public interest and in the interest of agriculture that stock of that class should be finished on the hoof in this country before it is sent to the markets of the Old Country, as much as possible of our live stock should be finished at homei I, for one, was delighted to find that the Minister of Marine and Fisheries (Mr. Ballantyne), who is not in his seat, had been so successful in adopting a system of shipbuilding in this country, by which system we would be enabled to carry and take care of the exports of Canada. On a previous occasion I pointed out that 1 thought it would be in the interest of Canada if we had some such system as that so that we could give a preference to shipments of flour over shipments of wheat. As wheat is a convenient ballast, it is being carried by shipping companies at a much lower rate than flour. With a Government-owned system, we could reverse the procedure in that regard, and we would not be confronted with the difficulty which we are experiencing just now, namely that the millers have on hand an abundance of flour for which they can get no sale at a price in proportion to that which they have paid for wheat, and that, consequently, it has been absolutely impossible for Canadian stock raisers to procure the mill feeds which

are so essential for the finishing of live stock, an industry the immensity of which I have shown by quoting the value of live stock in this country at the present time. This is a matter on which our experimental farms should be able to supply evidence, and they should be able to show conclusively the values of some of the by-products.
I am referring to this more particularly for the reason that some time ago the Government and Parliament turned loose on this country fully armed and equipped what might be fittingly termed as commercial highwaymen rather than by the name under which they have gone. One of the first things they did was- to make an attack on those who were endeavouring to carry on in Ontario, and they confined their operations to that province. I refer to the Board of Commerce, so-called, because if there ever was a body of men who were less entitled to be called a Board of Commerce, I do not know where you could find them; they are commerce smashers in every sense of the word. Our experimental farm system has not been able to furnish evidence as to the cost of producing the articles upon which the Board of Commerce were endeavouring to fix prices, and I believe the result will be that inside of six months Government statistics will show that the bacon and pork industry of this country has been reduced by one-third, such result being largely attributable to the rulings of that board. Further, I believe that the dairying industry of this country has been crippled to an enormous extent as the result of one of the first acts of that board. Our experimental farrqs to which I have been referring should have been in a position to show the cost of producing milk and bacon in this country under present conditions, because we all know that conditions in connection with the feeding of live stock in Canada have not been normal for some time on account of the high cost of feed. But the situation is even worse than that. Some hon. members may have noticed certain questions which I placed on the Order Paper during the past few weeks with reference to millfeed and the by-products oi wheat, one question with regard to what is called standard stock feed being answered the other day. The Government have entered into an arrangement with the elevator companies by which the Government purchase their recleaned screenings and, with the approval of those engaged in carrying on experimental work in this country, send them broadcast throughout Canada.
This stuff, which has been sent broadcast, unground, is composed of over 10 per cent of the most dangerous noxious weeds of which it is possible to imagine. It is true that it has been stated in the press that the f irmers should see that this stuff is ground before it is fed, on account of the danger of the spread of noxious weeds. These are some of the things in regard to which oar demonstration or experimental farm system ras utterly failed. There should be a stirring up, and I am sure that the present Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Tol-inie), who understands so well and is so deeply interested in the live stock industry in this country, will see that steps are taken to remedy some of the abuses that have crept in. But it is quite apparent to any one and every one who drives through any of the old settled districts, yes, and unloitunately the new ones, when the weeds are in bloom, that only a comparatively very small proportion of the farms of Canada are to-day free from noxious weeds. This may seem a trifling matter to some people, and some may wonder why the farmers are leaving the farms and flocking to the cities as they have been doing. This condition is not confined to Canada or to any particular province; it has been a world-wide development of many years growth and I believe that the experimental farms can do a great deal to inform the people of Canada with regard to better methods, and assist in overcoming some of the difficulties and prejudices with which we are now confronted. It is a serious situation when you find that the descendants of the old stock which settled and developed this country are, in many instances, not to be found in the localities with which they were at one time so closely identified, there is a possible danger of our farms being occupied by people who are not of so high a standard as those who occupied them in the past, this would be a most unfortunate condition of affairs. When you allow your mind to review the situation, and when you see the numbers of young men who have been brought up to man's estate on the farms of Canada, who have gone to the towns and cities and entered into professional or business life, you can readily understand that they are a credit to the people who brought them up and to rural life. I for one would not discourage any young man from going from the farm to the city if it is in his interest to do so. I think it is one of the finest things that can possibly be imagined, that

tin of agricultural statistics in connection with the work that is being done in that (province outside of the Central . Farm at Ottawa. There is another pamphlet published monthly by the Department of Agriculture, a pamphlet that will be found on the desks in practically all the banks and public places throughout Ontario, and, I presume, throughout the other provinces of the Dominion. On its face there is a map of Canada showing the location of the experimental farms and demonstration stations throughout Canada, and the only point indicated in the province of Ontario is the small tobacco station in the county of Essex, the station at Kapuskasing, 600 miles to the north, and the Central Experimental Farm in the extreme east of the province. And yet this pamphlet is headed with the names of the Minister of Agriculture and the Director of the farms. I have in my hand the issue of November, 1919, and the following statement appears on its cover:
In the above outlined map note the location of experimental farms and stations. The superintendent of the experimental farm or station nearest to you will be pleased to give you any information in his power. Why not communicate with him?
Just imagine! !l should like to know with whom the people who are growing grapes, peaches and other fruits to which I have referred, in Western Ontario, are going to communicate-with the director of the tobacco-growing station at Harrow, or the director of the experimental station six hundred miles further north at Kapuskasing where such fruits are not grown? This is a fair illustration of the injustice that is being done to the province of Ontario in this respect. When this farm was established at Kapuskasing one was also established at Spirit lake, a short distance away in the province of Quebec. One station, apparently, would not do up in that northern country where conditions were the same in both provinces. No; Quebec had to have a farm also at that point. But in addition to this, you will find that Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick are dotted with these experimental farms.
Now, we cannot close our eyes to the fact that to any prospective immigrant one of the chief considerations is the possibility of his becoming the owner of.some land on which he will be able to make a home for himself and thereby have a feeling of independence which it was impossible for him to have in his native country. He will naturally go to the Canadian Government

agents overseas, and to the booking agents, who will have stacks of literature supplied by the Dominion Government giving just such information with regard to our agricultural resources as persons emigrating are anxious to obtain. Well, immigrants will look at this map and will look among the Great Lakes of Western Ontario, and will inevitably come to the conclusion that in Ontario there is nothing but -waste land, a veritable desert, where the only oasis is Harrow devoted to the culture of tobacco. These reports undoubtedly have a great influence on the minds of prospective immigrants, for I know the truth of this statement by actual experience. I had something to do with the supplying of literature to prospective immigrants a few years ago, and I know that the reports contained in these pamphlets and bulletins are precisely the kind of information they inquire after; and if the province of Ontario is to be precluded from any possibility of even a fair show so far as obtaining immigrants is concerned, then let us be frank and say so at once.
As to the prospective immigrant, for many years when immigrants were coming into this country Ontario was very badly handicapped, in addition to the absence of this literature to which I have referred, by reason of the fact that we had been discriminated against toy the federal Government. I am referring to what took place previous to 1911. So much (was this the case that Ontario had to enter into immigration work itself; it had to open an office in Great Britain, send its own agents over there, and the Government at Ottawa refused booking agents the usual bonus ol $5 when booking immigrants who were sent to the Provincial Government for farm work. People ask the question: "How is it that the agricultural population of all Ontario has fallen off as it has?" It is .a surprise to me, in face of wtoat we have had to contend with, that we have there the population that we have to-day. I maintain that this matter ought to be attended to at the present session of Parliament. You may say: We will endeavour to do something a little later on. I am getting tired of being put off in that way. The Government has been altogether too procrastinating in that respect in the years that have passed. I regret that the hon. Minister of Finance (Sir Henry Drayton) is not in his place, because I am firmly convinced that there is no other source of revenue that will respond so generously to well directed

efforts along the lines to which I have referred as the province of Ontario. But (give her a fair show.


Hon. S. F. TOLMIE (Minister of Agriculture) :: Mr. Speaker, I have listened with a great deal of pleasure to the hon. member for South Oxford (Mr. Sutherland! speaking on the question of experimental farms. I am very glad indeed that he has brought this important matter to the attention of the House. I quite agree with him when he says that there is no possible line along which, under present conditions, this country can expend money with such safety as agriculture:
There seems to be a great deal of misapprehension in some quarters concerning the work of the experimental farms and the great service that they are rendering to this country. In the efforts of those engaged in experimental work upon the farms, they aim to increase quantity in the productions of the soil, to improve quality, to reduce all obstructions to production, to count the cost of production, to minimize loss and increase returns by the employment of better methods. To accomplish this the work on the farms is divided into research, investigation, illustration, assistance, prevention, propaganda and administration. These various branches of course have to work interdependently, one line very much with the other, to accomplish the best results. In research work we find that our plant men at the experimental farms have been able to provide for the agriculturists of this country many new and valuable varieties of grains. They have also done a great deal in discovering diseases affecting plants. They have introduced better farming methods, all of which have resulted in enormous gains to the country.
Take the case of Marquis wheat. Sometimes we hear this laughed at, and it is said that when anybody criticizes the Experimental Farms we always point to Marquis wheat. If we do point to Marquis wheat we are pointing to something that we may well be proud of. In five years it is estimated that Marquis wheat has increased the yield at the rate of over $20,000,000 per year in the three Prairie Provinces alone. This wheat developed at our Experimental Farms is an improvement on the old varieties because it possesses a shorter and stiffer straw and yields from 4 to 6 bushels per acre more than do such varieties as Red Fife.


Mr. BURNHAM:: Has the minister entered into the production of a new wheat which is going to double the quantity produced by the variety that he refers to.


Simon Fraser Tolmie: Is the hon. gentleman
referring to Marquis wheat?


John Hampden Burnham: No, but to a new wheat.


Simon Fraser Tolmie: Our Experimental Farms are investigating a number of new varieties of wheat. They are keeping in very-close touch with that work and as developments occur they will give them to the public. In addition to the Marquise they have developed the Preston, Stanley, and Huron: varieties of wheat. It is estimated that these have increased the yields of other provinces to the value of half a million dollars. They have also placed on the market the Daubenay, Victoria, and .Banner oats. It is estimated after a careful calculation that these varieties have increased the yields by $9,000,000 per year. They have produced many varieties of new barley, flax, peas, and other grains which have increased the yields to the extent of $3,000,000 a year. Among the new varieties being investigated are Ruby wheat, and Liberty oats, which will also add many millions of dollars to the value of the yields of these crops as soon as the quantities secured are sufficient to enable these varieties to be grown in a commercial way.
The orchard and gardening sections of the Experimental Farms have also rendered very valuable service. They have produced the Melba apple, Early Malcolm corn and Alacrity tomato, all of which are now being grown for the market. They are investigating the production of hardy vari-ties of fruit for the prairie sections of the country. In forage crops they have attained some signal successes such as the production of a perennial variety of clover. Perhaps nobody will realize to a greater extent than the hon. member for South Oxford how valuable it is to have a perennial variety of clover as distinguished from one which is only annual or biennial.
In the division of chemistry, we are carrying on a very valuable work in testing soils as to their productivity and also research work showing the value of clover, alfalfa and other leguminous crops with reference to their ability to extract nitrogen from the air and convey it to the soil. As was points ed out by the hon. member (Mr. Sutherland) it is only by the use- of leguminous crops that we can hope very largely to maintain the fertility of our soil. I want to emphasize the importance of the work of


Donald Sutherland: I might say that the system of keeping a record of the production of dairy cows originated with the late E. V. Tilson, of Tilsonburg, who had a herd of some sixtydive dairy cows, mostly of Holstein grades, and who brought his average production up to somewhere in the neighbourhood of 12,000 pounds per cow. One cow alone produced about 24,000 pounds and this was such an evidence of the value of

keeping records that the system was adopted by all experimental farms and agricultural colleges. The late E. V. Tilson was the man who demonstrated most successfully the value of that work in the first instance.


Simon Fraser Tolmie: I wish to thank the hon. gentleman for this information. I did not know that the system had originated in Ontario. My first information with respect to the testifig of cows had reference to the work carried on in Denmark and in Wisconsin and some of the other states in the South.
In regard to poultry we are carrying on some research work with very excellent results, such as different methods for incubation and different kinds of incubators for hatching eggs. We have one incubator out at the Farm now with a capacity of 10,000 eggs. Work is likewise being carried on with respect to brooding machines and the better housing of poultry. Work is in operation there that any one can benefit by, where the various kinds of poultry houses are found to be in use and their operations so explained that any one interested in poultry can derive the very fullest information. You will be surprised, Mr. Speaker, to know that poultry diseases are responsible for a loss in this country of some seven and a half million dollars per year. We have a man investigating along these lines at the present time and we are hoping to give him an assistant before very long. In addition to increasing our yield both of livestock and crops I believe it is just as important to conserve all we possibly can and stop existing leaks.
In connection with the tobacco industry we are also carrying on investigations with reference to the distribution of seed, cultivation, warehousing, and at the present time we have a representation of our department overseas to get all the information he possibly can with a view to improving the market for the Canadian tobacco producers.
We also do a little bee work out at the Farm in connection with winter feeding, housing, and the development of the honey producing industry in every possible way.
Investigations are being carried on with regard to flax but there is no need for me to dwell on that industry as the subject has been very fully discussed here recently-
We are making every possible effort to reach the people through our publications and through the press. We encourage visits to these farms where farmers can investigate for themselves and where everything
is very fully explained to them. In this way I think the Experimental Farms are rendering a very valuable service to this country,-one that we hardly sufficiently realize and one that is certainly not appreciated by the man who is not an actual practical farmer. Only the other day I had a farmer from the old country out at the Experimental Farm. He was very enthusiastic indeed over the system and over the Farm and the opportunities that it afforded the farmer to secure every possible [DOT] information that can be obtained in connection with this work and at no cost to himself. In such a vast country as ours where the conditions vary very much in different sections, it is necessary that a great deal of experimental work should be carried on, especially in view of the development of our agricultural resources, and I agree with the hon. member for South Oxford (Mr. Sutherland) that money is well spent along these lines.
In regard to the resolution, I can hardly agree with the hon. member that there has been any unfairness in the treatment of Ontario. While the Central Experimental Farm here does work that is of value to all the other provinces, still it is rendering a special service to Ontario inasmuch as it is easily accessible to the great majority of the farmers of this province. In locating these experimental farms our aim is not provincial, but rather to meet the varying conditions which are found to exist throughout the Dominion. We expend on experimental farms in Ontario about $409,979 annually, and it will be found that we are expending in that province more money per head of population than in any other province.
The limits of extension of our experimental farm system have not by any means been reached; many sections still require these farms, and I have a great deal of sympathy for the suggestion of the hon. member that an experimental farm is necessary in western Ontario. He was rather a good prophet, however, when he predicted that I would make the excuse of our finances being short this year as the reason for not undertaking any further extension of our system. That is mainly the excuse which I have to offer, and I am inclined to think that if he had had my experience of the difficulties of trying to get money, he rwould accept my excuse without demur. I feel there is room for extension work not only in Ontario but in many of the other provinces, including northern British Columbia, the Peace River district, southwestern

Saskatchewan, and probably the provinces to the east of us.
To give you an idea, Mr. Speaker, of the wonderful variety of the conditions we have to deal with, I may say that on the farm at Sydney, a feiw miles from Victoria, B.C., we are growing figs and oranges in the open. After my experience of two springs in Ontario I would be very loath to recommend this climate for the culture of such fruits. The contrast is striking, and it well illustrates the necessity' for experimental stations all over the country.
The hon. member referred to the very heavy expenditure for wages during the year 1918-19. It will be remembered that a very special effort was made during that year to produce as mudh root seed a.s possible, for the reason that before the war we had been depending largely on Germany for our supply, and that source being cut off it was absolutely necessary to produce our seed at home. I 'am glad to say that many sections took up this branch of agriculture with very good results, and we are now producing seed second to none.
My hon. friend stated that the Board of Commerce paralysed the pork industry. I think that statement needs to be qualified somewhat, because if he had watched the markets very closely he would have noticed that the prices fell in Chicago before the order of the Board of Commerce was issued. As a matter of fact the markets across the water were "plugged," and packers cannot send pork to a market that does not want it. Finding that their output was cut off, the packers promptly began to "shorten up" at this end. No doubt the condition is largely due to the financial situation overseas, where in many instances it is impossible to make arrangements to guarantee payment for what is sold. Under these conditions it was only natural that the packers in self defence and to make themselves safe should limit their purchases of pork.
I would like to say to the hon. member, Mr. Speaker, that I heartily sympathize with his plea for an experimental farm in western Ontario, and I shall be very glad to -move in the matter as soon as financial conditions will permit. Therefore I hope he will consent to withdraw his resolution.


Mr. WILLIAM SMITH (Ontario South):: Mr. Speaker, I have listened with a great deal of interest and pleasure to the speeches of the hon. member for South Oxford (Mr. Sutherland) and the Minister of Agriculture (Mr. Tolmie), particularly so as I am
[Mr. Tolmie. 3
personally very much interested in the subject under discussion. I may be excused if I say that to a certain extent I was a party to the establishment of our experimental farms many years ago, and I do not think any one will take exception to the statement that they were established on right lines and have accomplished a great deal of good.
My only object in rising, Mr. Speaker, is to state that I think the Minister of Agriculture might have gone one step further- and so might the hon. member for South Oxford-for it appears to me that while these farms have accomplished a great deal, what we want to-day is to show the farmer how he can make farming pay. To that end I would like to see the Department of Agriculture set aside in different places throughout the Dominion a certain acreage of land and put a man upon it with an understanding that he must make that farm pay. Then we will know exactly what can be accomplished. Until that is done, all these experimental farms, whilst they are accomplishing a great deal of good, and whilst I value highly their record and believe that they will do a great deal to serve agriculture in the days to come, yet it appears to me that one of the most practical methods to adopt is to prove to the farmer that his farm can be made to pay interest upon his investment.
I realize to the fullest extent that it is extremely hard to make both ends meet, and in view of our present financial conditions I sympathize with the Minister of Agriculture, but it appears to me that as soon as the finances of the country will allow, he should set aside farms of so many acres in one place and another from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and put in charge of those farms practical men, so that they may be able to demonstrate that farming can be made to pay. Then I say that his department will be doing one of the best things that it has ever accomplished for the benefit of agriculture.


Donald Sutherland: Mr. Speaker-


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: I must point out to the House that after the mover of the resolution exercises his right to reply the debate will be closed.
Mr. J. E. S. E. d'ANJOU (Rimouski) (Translation):	Mr. Speaker, representing,
,as 'I do, a division which is essentially made up of farmers, I feel in duty bound to express my opinion on the question so ably submitted by the houourable member for South Oxford (Mr. Sutherland). I must

first 'congratulate any honourable friend on his persistence in dealing with this matter at every session. Surely, this resolution is one of the most reasonable which have been submitted to the House, this year. iSome of the resolutions presented this session did advocate the establishment of systems which would have entailed a fabulous expenditure of money with no practical result in the public interest. The honourable minister of Agriculture concluded his speech by a statement to the 'effect that new experimental farms would be established in the province of Ontario whenever our financial circumstances permitted of it. I 'understand that this is the main object of the resolution. But Ontario is not the only province comprising rural constituencies where experimental farms would be of the utmost importance. The county of Ri-mouski, for instance, would be an ideal situation for an experimental farm. It is settled by farmers, as I have already said, and there are model farmers in that riding who, take the first prizes as against all other competitors, at every exhibition. Therefore, when the Government deems it proper to establish new experimental farms in Ontario, they should see to it that such a farm is also established in Ri-mouski, and I now rise in the name of the electors of that division to voice such a request. True it is that the present financial condition of the country is deplorable, but it seems that the Government would never toe expending too much money to encourage our main industry. If Canada is to come out of the rut and to take her flight towards prosperity, it is, necessary that we should encourage agriculture, a source of wealth above all, which will help us, in a large measure, to pay the accumulated debts and the expenses resulting from the war. The Government, levish as they are when about buying railways or granting contracts for millions of dollars without calling for tenders, should not hold out as a pretence that our financial condition does not now allow of increasing the number of experimental farms whether in Ontario or in any other one of the provinces. As was said by the speakers who have preceded me, it is a well known fact that experimental farms do render very great services in the localities where they are established, and such is their importance that the Government should not hesitate to establish some Wherever they are needed,, especially in
the county which I have the honour to represent.
A resolution was moved by an honourable member, the other day, to the effect that we should organize an army in Canada. To my mind, the army which we ought to organize should include but soldiers of the soil and have nothing to do with future wars. I think the Government would be justified in adopting the resolution moved toy the honourable member for South-Oxford and carrying it out through the establishment Of new experimental farms in the different provinces. They would show, thereby, their desire to promote the welfare of 'Canada and enable her to pay her debt and to be progressive again as she was from 1896 to 1911.


Mr. CASSELMAN:: I move the adjournment of the debate.


Donald Sutherland: Mr. Speaker,


Edgar Nelson Rhodes: This motion is not debatable.


[Stage Direction]
Motion agreed to, and the debate adjourned.

Robert James Manion: That, in the opinion of this House, it is advisable that the Government should as soon as possible bring forward a policy having for its object the development of the natural resources of Canada.
He said: Mr. Speaker, I had not intended moving this resolution at this late hour of a sitting which closes at six o'clock; but owing to the uncertainty as regards private members' days in future, I felt that even if some hon. members who'intended taking part in this debate were unfortunately precluded from doing so, the subject was perhaps of sufficient importance that it should not be left out altogether. Therefore, even at the risk of some hon. members who may wish to discuss this matter being crowded out, I am taking it up at so late an hour in the afternoon. I dealt with this subject at the first session in which I had the honour of sitting in this House, the spring session of 1918, I took it up again in the spring session of 1919; and I am so deeply impressed with the importance of the subject that I am taking it up again today because I am strongly of the opinion that it is important for this country as soon as possible to work out some policy

by which the natural resources of Canada may be developed in such a way as to improve our financial condition. If one may judge by the many orations which have been made by speakers of all nationalities, creeds, and political colours, in this country, in which orations those speakers have eulogised our great natural resources and spoken of the great future which is before this country because of them, one may well be led to believe that the subject is a popular one. But unless some of those orations are implemented by actions on the part of whatever Government may happen to be in power; in other words, unless some policy is worked out whereby those natural resources are developed, then the orations, volumes of them, are of no use to this country. The party which works out that policy will win not only the applause but the approval of the people of Canada. I admit that it is not an easy matter to work out a policy of that kind; but if the best brains of this cbuntry are set to the task, the result will be that some policy will be evolved whereby those natural resources will be developed.
Raw materials rule the world of commerce, and the country which possesses them has inestimable advantages over countries which do not. Canada possesses those raw materials in great abundance; and while some of them, such as agriculture, are being worked to a great extent, although not satisfactorily as has been illustrated by the discussion to which we have just listened, others, such as coal, iron, and oil are not being worked as they could be to the benefit of Canada. Iron, coal and
oil are three of the great needs of any commercial country; and if you look over the commercial history of England, Germany, France, or the United States, you will find that their commercial development has been directly in proportion to their production of pig iron and steel. During the quarter of a century immediately preceding the war, Germany increased her steel production twelve times; the United States increased hers thirteen times, while Great Britain increased hers only two and one-half times, and all the members of this House know that in that quarter of a century Germany and the United States were rapidly gaining in international commerce and trade upon Great Britain. Great Britain, France, Germany and the United States were the four great leading commercial nations of the world before the war, and they were also the four great nations which were producing the greatest quantity of pig iron and steel. The same statement could be made in regard to other materials that are produced, but this is a statement which has been made by many economic writers, and I have recently read two books on economics by able economists who emphasize that. fact.	-
Iron, coal and oil are the basic elements of commercial progress, and yet Canada, which claims that she possesses within her borders large quantities of those raw materials, imports immense amounts of them. Without going into details, I shall give to the House Canada's importations of those three materials for the fiscal years ending March 31, 1917, 1918, 1919. The figures are as follows:
1917.
Coal, hard and soft	 $ 42,076,426
Iron and steel, including products and machinery.. ..	125,613,617
Oils, mineral, fish and others . ..	21,619,694
1918.

$268,972,401	$277,989,085
These materials have a great effect upon the exchange situation, and we all know that the exchange has been against us, particularly in relation to the United States during the past year. These materials which form such a large part of the imports into this country are the very materials of which we claim we have vast quantities lying dormant in the soil of Canada. I shall leave the question of coal and oil to be discussed by a number of speakers who are to follow me, and shall go a little into detail in regard to iron ore.
In my address to the House in 1918 I TMr. Manion.l
went into considerable detail in regard to iron ore, and I quoted many authorities to the effect that Canada stood very high in regard to her deposits of iron ore. One authority even went so far as to say that if a proper record were made Canada would stand very high, if not actually first, among the prospective iron producing countries of the world. In the Ottawa Evening Journal the other day I saw an article by Mr. Kidd,
K.C., in which Tie claimed, and quoted authorities for hfs claim, that there was lying within a few miles of this city 250,000,000 tons of iron ore which could be de-

veloped. Despite all this ore which we have in Canada very little Canadian ore is being used in the blast furnaces and steel plants of Canada to-day. Only four per cent was used in 1917 and 1918, while in 1896 the percentage of Canadian iron ore used in the blast furnaces and steel plants of this country amounted to 67 per cent, in 1897, to 49 per cent; in 1898, 42 per cent; 1909, 17 per cent; in 1916, 11 per cent, and in 1917 and 1918 only four per cent. It may be added, in fairness, that in 1916, 1917 and 1918, in addition to what we used in our blast furnaces we exported an average of
150.000	tons. In 1918, while we used only 4 per cent of Canadian iron ore we imported
2.200.000	tons from other countries, two-fifths of which came from Wabana, Newfoundland, and three-fifths from the United States. It may reasonably be asked why, if we have so much iron ore lying dormant in this country, we import so much. Why is not our own ore used in the blast furnaces and steel plants of this country? The answer is that so far the iron deposits of Newfoundland and of the United States are of a richer grade. That statement was disputed, however, by a mining man to whom I made it, but personally I think that the United States and Newfoundland ores are richer than anything we have discovered so far in large quantities in Canada. Then the ores of the United States and Newfoundland are more easily mined, and there is the further fact that some of our Canadian iron ores contain deleterious substances, such as sulphur which has to be roasted out, which process adds very considerably to the cost. Furthermore, vast American corporations owning their own plants, their own railways and steamship lines, are working their own iron ores in the United States, and therefore it is very difficult for us to compete. It has been stated to me by authorities who have visited both sides of the line that the iron ore formations on the Canadian side are of exactly the same character as the formations on the American side, but the greater amount of exploration and development work that has been done on the American side has brought out richer grades than we have yet discovered because of that lack of exploration and development.
But suppose we admit for the sake of argument that our ore is inferior to that of Newfoundland and the United States. Must we also admit failure in the possibility of developing the ores we have? Must we at the first sign of difficulty throw up our hands and cry " Kamerad "? That was not
our policy during the war, and it should not be our policy in commerce. It has been stated by authorities that 33 per cent of iron ore is workable on a paying basis. There have been hundreds of assays made from Nova Scotia at one end of the country to British Columbia at the other, showing iron ores of a very much higher grade than that. I have seen assays that have been made of coal near Ottawa showing as high as 60 per cent, and on the north shore of Lake Superior, both east and west of Fort William and Port Arthur, there have been hundreds of assays made showing very much more than 33 per cent, some of them running up to 60 per cent.
But one of two things is necessary for the development of these ores: Either the giving of assistance so as to put the men who are developing these ores on the same financial basis as the men who are developing them on the American side. Or the other proposition is that this Government should make a. thorough investigation of these iron deposits to show investors' that our ores possess as great possibilities financially as the ores to be found on the American side and in Newfoundland. A great deal of money has been spent by the Government in investigating the lignites of Western Canada. I believe that we are spending $200,000 this year in briquetting lignites and in investigation work. That is a very proper thing to do. Certainly, neither free traders nor protectionists in this House could object to a thorough investigation along the same lines on the iron ores of this country. Outside of the Geological Survey we have, spent practically nothing along this line. Investigation is absolutely the duty of any government. I might interject here that I have not a cent tied up in iron or iron ore; I am speaking on broad Canadian national lines only. I believe that the Government should treat the Department of Mines -more generously than it has done in the past. If you will look over the Estimates for the past few years you will find that a number of departments which are not more necessary or important, if as important, as the Department of Mines are getting from two to five times the appropriation of that department. I am not alluding to such large spending departments as Public Works, and Railways and Canals, but to the Departments of Immigration, Mounted Police, Dominion Lands, Indian Affairs, Fisheries, and Penitentiaries. Only a comparatively small appropriation is made for the Department of Mines despite the great mineral develop-

ment which has gone on in Canada, and despite the vast possibilities which this country has in further mineral development. I think it is false economy which permits a government to pay such meagTe salaries to scientific and mining men that 50 per cent of the scientific field men of the Mines Department have resigned in the last year or so and gone 'to work for private companies. That is not good economy. Only the other day, on February 23, in the British Columbia House, the Hon. Mr. Sloan moved a notice of motion along these very lines, that the Government should spend more in the line of investigating British Columbia mining lands, and the same policy should be adopted in every province of this country. During the war we spent about two billion dollars on destructive processes of war, and it seems that it is but a fair request on the part of the people to ask that We now spend a certain amount of money, as large an amount as we can finance, on the constructive processes of peace. Due to the war our taxes have doubled, having risen from about $175,000,000 to about $350,000,000 or more per annum. That is due to the increases in interest from $15,000,000 to- $115,000,000, an increase in pensions from nil to $35,000,000 per annum, and to other expenditures arising out of the war. The only way to lower this taxation is by increasing our population, and an increase in population can be brought about to a certain extent at least by an increase in mineral development. A hundred years ago Canada and the United States were pretty nearly equal in population. To-day Canada has between 8,000,000 and 9,000,000 people and the United States 110,000,000. That is partly due to our policy of helping them to develop their natural resources and build up their commerce rather than following the same policy with regard to our own country. It is true that without Government assistance iron ores will be developed in Canada when the depletion of American and Newfoundland OTes is a little closer in sight, and it is in sight to-day. But why should we leave the development and the prosperity incident to that development to posterity. In this matter I cannot help saying with Mr. Dooley, "What has posterity done for us that we should do so much for them?" by leaving all these resources to them.
There is another reason why this is important, and that is the railway situation in this country. Due to the lack of foresight on the part of statesmen in this country

for half a century of railway building, there has been no definite plan in Tailway construction in Canada, and the result is that to-day we have duplication and over-development in many sections. For example we have 1,300 miles of railway on three different lines from Winnipeg to Ottawa. We have three lines of railway, the Canadian Pacific railway, the Canadian Northern and the Grand Trunk Pacific, and any one who looks over the country must know that two lines would have been sufficient. That, however, is only an example; the same condition exists from Montreal to Toronto, and there is over-duplication in various other parts of the country. In fact, in every part of Canada there is unnecessary duplication. We have in this country
40,000	miles of railway, over half of which is in the hands of the Canadian people, and it might be worth while to. compare the figures of the Canadian railway system with those of other countries. Canada has one mile of railway to every two hundred persons; the United States, one mile to every four hundred; Great Britain, one mile to every two thousand; Russia, one mile to every four thousand. Canada has four or five times the mileage of railway that Japan has with a population of 56,000,000; three times ithe mileage of Italy with 36,000,000. We have a greater mileage than Great Britain with 45,000,000, a greater mileage than France with 40,000,000, and an equal mileage with Germany, which has a population of 65,000,000. These figures illustrate quite plainly the over-development of our railways. In other words, we have hot the population sufficient to provide the necessary railway traffic. Mineral development would help to secure this traffic, and it is stated-I think authoritatively-that in the United States forty-seven per cent of the railway traffic consists of the carrying of mineral products. The percentage is very much smaller in this country.
Another important reason why coal, oil and iron should be developed is the fact that they are all exhaustible materials. The time may not be very distant in the future when the United States may consider it sound politics and good business to put an embargo to a certain extent on the exportation of these materials from that country, and it is highly important that we should reach the stage of absolute independence of any action which the United States may feel called upon to take.
An objection 'has been made that our coal supplies are insufficient for the proper development of such materials as iron; yet

Canada claims to have the greatest coal deposits in the world, with the exception of the deposits of the United States. I admit that our deposits are localized in far extreme points of Canada, hut the day is coming, not far in the future, when Canada's coal supplies will suffice for at least her own needs. At any rate, it is to be hoped that they will; and this condition will be brought about by improvements in transportation, particularly water transportation, as, for example, the building of a St. Lawrence canal system or a Georgian Bay system whereby the Great Lakes will be made the Mediterranean of America. When that day comes, Mr. -Speaker, I foresee this happy circumstance, that between Winnipeg and Fort William the coal of Nova Scotia will say a glowing good morning to the coal of the Prairia Provinces, and that will be the time when Canadian coal will supply the necessities of the Dominion. Then we have vast quantities of potential electrical power; there are nineteen million horsepower of potential electricity in the waterfalls of Canada, only ten per cent of which is developed. Electricity and coal are our two great sources of energy, but while coal is exhaustible, electricity is not. It' is one of the few materials which you can go on using indefinitely without fear of exhausting the supply, and electric smelters will help, and are helping at the present time in Toronto, to develop the mineral resources of the country.
You may wonder, Mr. Speaker, what proposition I am endeavouring to put up to the Government after these preliminary remarks. I am going to offer suggestions which have been put forward by different people, and leave them with the Government for their consideration. The first suggestion which some one has made is that the tariff be raised against raw materials; second, that the Government itself should develop these resources; third, that the Government guarantee bonds of a private corporation and allow that corporation to develop the resources of the country; fourth, that a partnership be formed between the Government and a private corporation such as the shell-oil proposition of Alberta and the Peace Eiver district; fifth, that a bonus or bounty be paid on iron ore raised in the mines of Canada and used in Canadian steel plants; sixth, that a committee or commission be appointed to go into the question and recommend to the Government what should be done. Commissions are not very popular in this country just now, although I think sometimes that the great cries against them are partly due to the fact that
there exists an adverse opinion in regard to commissions for commissions have been appointed in this country that have done good work. The seventh proposition is that a thorough investigation by competent mining men be made covering the whole question, and neither protectionists nor free-traders could object to such an investigation. I care not which one of the suggestions the Government might determine to adopt, so long as it adopts one of them. The important thing is that the Government should undertake some policy whereby the mineral development of the country will be extended, as I believe it should be extended, and whereby all the orations that have been made will be implemented by effective action; because, after all, orations are of absolutely no use unless they are properly implemented. Some policy should be adopted to insure the proper development of our natural resources from one end of the country to the other. Let some action be taken, for this is one of the possible methods by which we may increase the population, lessen the taxes, enhance our property, secure a market for our agricultural products, give employment to the unemployed, provide freight for our over-developed railway system, make ourselves commercially independent of the United States, and generally help to give the Dominion of Canada its proper place among the advancing industrial nations of the world.


Mr. W. D. COWAN (Begina):: I have much pleasure in seconding the resolution moved by the hon. member for Fort William and Eainy Eiver (Mr. Manion), who I think is quite right in saying that there has arisen an urgent demand throughout Canada for the development of our natural resources. In the part of the country from which I come there has been in the last year or two a strong demand in this respect. Our young men are of the opinion that the natural resources of the country should be developed for the benefit of the Canadian people, and they as workingmen are entitled to the opportunity that' would be afforded them 'by the development of these resources, which would provide abundant employment. At present our working men and women find it difficult to secure employment in Western Canada, and that is one of the reasons why so many of them have left that country and gone to the United States. Now, that is one of the problems which we want to tackle, for this sort of emigration should not be permitted; we should do everything possible to prevent it. There has been in our part

of the country a very insistent demand for the development of our natural resources, and so strong has that demand become that in some quarters there is a movement on foot to get the Government to establish a Ministry of Science and Industry, with a minister who will give sufficient attention to this important phase of national work. We do not ask that the number of ministers should be increased, but we are anxious that this matter should be provided for. Wherever we go we find that our best public men are dealing with this question, and recently Professor McLaurin, of Saskatchewan University, speaking in Saskatoon to a body of business men, made statements similar to those quoted by the hon. member for Port William. In his concluding remarks he said:
Canada's natural resources are second only to the United States, hut up to the present time is considered chiefly in terms of agriculture, but the time has come when industrial development is essential to a permanent system of agriculture and a national industrial consciousness must be created.
I fancy that a number of the wealthier men of Canada, probably manufacturers, will say: Yes, let us develop as quickly as possible a national industrial consciousness; and it is not only among our workingmen and young people that that national consciousness should be developed. It seems to me that our banks, our wealthier men and our governments should realize the importance of this viewpoint.
I am going to read just a few words from a recent interview given by Sir George Bury, upon his return from China where he had been on a business trip, dealing with this very thing. I quote Sir George Bury because 'I fancy he will not be accused of being an enemy of the manufacturers of Canada. Yet he speaks very plainly and,
I think, very properly to them. He recognizes, as I recognize and as11 think we must all recognize, that our industrial development depends to a large extent \ upon the development of the natural resources of Canada. He said:
Yet, while the United States, Great Britain and all the lesser fry are busy developing trade in the Orient, Canadian manufacturers are sitting back in their revolving chairs doing nothing. X met a Canadian manufacturer in Japan, who was asked to figure on some business. His reply was that he was there for a holiday, and not for business. An energetic salesman in China secured an order for several thousand hand cultivators and tried to get them made in the East. The order was turned down because it involved the expenditure of a few thousand dollars for dies and templates. Those two incidents are characteristic of the attitude

of the Canadian manufacturers to Oriental trade.
Then he goes on:
Our wonderful national resources will be only a mockery to us unless we utilize them for the benefit of the world, and for our own advantage. The world needs the products of our soil, our forests, mines and waters, and we, as the custodians of these great resources have a trust to which we must live up, and for which we must 'worthily account, or be in default. It is not only a national duty to the world we owe, but a domestic obligation to our own people to provide profitable occupation for all our people.
I quote him because I kpow that I could not express my view better than, or as well as he has done. It seems to me that a national industrial consciousness is required among the wealthier men of Canada who are in a position to do the developing of these natural resources because our workingmen cannot be expected to do it; they have ' not the capital and it is only the wealthier men and the Government that can do it. For that reason I think a policy ought to be adopted by this Government not only for themselves to follow but which would induce capitalists and the wealthier men of Canada to engage in these undertakings.
The hon. member for Fort William (Mr. Manion) has dealt almost entirely with iron and properly so. He has a great deal of iron in his particular locality. I am not so competent to speak of these things, but when it comes down to the development of our natural, resources we are more or less confined to the natural resources which are within our several provinces, because we can best speak of these.
That brings me back to the province of Saskatchewan. As soon as I get there I find myself up against an absolutely impossible condition. The condition is this: Unlike almost every other province of Canada, our province does not yet own its natural resources. They are held in trust, so to speak, by this Government. I confess to believing, and I have no hesitancy in saying, that to-day one of the first complaints our people have is over the question of lumber. Our country is experiencing a building boom such as it has never experienced before. Our building will be limited only by the supply of lumber. Our lumber, it is true, has chiefly come, in days gone by, from British Columbia. It is there yet but we cannot get it. While we are dependent to a large extent on British Columbia the fact remains that in Saskatchewan we have a great deal of lumber

which could be made of great benefit to us and which might be used if we only had the means of getting it. True it is not the kind of lumber you find in these panels around this Chamber, but it is lumber which can be used in a great many of our buildings, it is in demand by the American people and a large amount of it is sold to our American cousins across the border. What can we do? Those who have travelled through, as many of you have, on the Canadian Pacific railway, probably have come to the conclusion that as far as timber is concerned our province is a barren country. It is not so, as the following figures with regard to timber lands in the province of Saskatchewan will show:
acres
Timber area	98,250,000	,
Wooded area	73,000,000
Spruce	 750,000
Present available lumber supply, 7,800,000,000 board feet.
Timber berths, 85.
As far as I have been able to discover, we have only six mills in operation in that entire area. I would like to know how it comes that these 79 timber berths are held without any operations being carried on. I do not know whether they have a right to hold them without doing any work upon them or not. They should not have. But there are six mills being operated and a lot of the timber which they are producing is being sold south of the American line. While lumber is being exported from our own province, a great many people, are demanding that an embargo be put upon British Columbia lumber so that they cannot export it. If the Government would hand over the timber limits in Saskatchewan to the Government of that province and let them deal with them the provincial government could, if they saw fit, make such regulations as would give to our own people the use of their own lumber, and in that way a great deal of the discontent would be allayed.
The situation is this. As long as these timber berths are controlled by the Dominion Government there is no development. The provincial government has not the right or the power to adopt a policy for the development of those resources. I saw a question on the Order Paper, which was answered by the Acting Prime Minister (Sir George Foster) about what statement was made by the Prime Minister (Sir Robert Borden) prior to the election. There is no question about it, he promised that these natural resources would be handed
over to the people of the province. I myself heard him make that statement. In view of the uncertain conditions which that promise has created, a promise which has not yet been fulfilled and which would involve an entire change in the regulations covering the control of the timber areas, can we expect that the men who own these timber berths, and wealthy men generally, are going to invest their money in the development of these resources? Most undoubtedly not, because if there is one thing more than another that money is scared of it is indefiniteness and uncertainty. The Government, in the interest of the people of Saskatchewan, should end that period of indefiniteness and uncertainty as quickly as possible and hand over to our province these timber resources so that other regulations may be formed to encourage the proper development of these areas and thus give to our people what really belongs to them.
Now there is far more timber than that. I happen to have here testimony on the point from Constable Eaman of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, who has been all through that country and who states:
Below Lac La Ronge is a great area of splendid timber.
Then again he states:
In 1916 the value of the out was $1,226,000. Many of the areas of timber are not yet within reach of a market. For example, there is an area of 13,000 acres at Montreal lake estimated to contain 120,000,000 feet that cannot be reached until communications are established.
All this timber is there, but for the lack of a few miles of railway our people are compelled to suffer and our progress is retarded in the way it is. So much, Mr. Speaker, for that.
We have more than timber in that section of the country, we have a great deal of coal. True it is not the very best, as yet, but i't is being developed. The Government have very wisely, as was mentioned by the hon. member for Fort William, embarked upon the policy of demonstrating the feasibility of briquetting the lignites~~Of southern Saskatchewan. A great many complaints have been made by our people that the work is being carried on very slowly but I am not one of those who join in that complaint. It is a demonstration plant and nothing else; and I want to say that I would sooner take a little longer time and have 'the demonstration made a complete success than hastily launch into something and find that it results in failure. I am glad to know that the Government are

taking their time with this demonstration plant and carrying out the experiments properly. So long as they are making substantial progress I will be very content, and I only hope that they will continue the work and get through with it as soon as they possibly can. I am satisfied that as soon as the- demonstration plant, which will manufacture some thirty thousand briquettes in one year, has been established and proven to be a success, we will htve dozens of these plants established all over southern Saskatchewan and southern Manitoba. But lignite coal is not the only coal we have in southern Saskatchewan;-and I am sorry the Minister of Railways (Mr. J. D. Reid) is not in his place to-day because I would like to- have drawn his attention to one peculiarity which he, probably more .than anybody else, ought to deal with as promptly as he possibly can. To-day we are bringing all our bituminous coal from Alberta and our anthracite coal from the United States. In the city of Regina we are about six hundred miles from the bituminous coal mines in Alberta, and the city of Winnipeg is about three hundred and sixty-six miles farther away still. It so happens, however, that within the last two years a new coal field has been discovered within two hundred miles of the city of Regina, and within two hundred and fifty miles of Winnipeg. That field is now known to contain at least twenty million tons, and some estimates run as high as Sixty million tons. That coal is better coal than any bituminous coal ever yet mined in Alberta. I have a copy of the analysis that was made by the Government and I have seen samples of the coal. It differs in this one respect from the other coal-that while the lignite coal at Estevan is covered with .some twenty-five to fifty feet of earth this particular deposit is covered with some two hundred feet. As hon. members can very easily see the increased weight of earth covering it has resulted in greater pressure -.nd thereby given a better quality of coal. In addition to that this particular deposit is perhaps of greater age.
, Now what are the conditions? As soon as the farmers in the locality discovered this coal they incorporated themselves into a company and fixed their capital at half a million dollars. They have already spent some $80,000 in .sinking shafts and are prepared to go on with operations, but unfortunately they are about eight miles from a railway and the Canadian National railway at that. Last year the Canadian National did undertake to build a spur 
from Lampman to Peebles which would go directly through this area, and 'they graded some eight or ten miles of the line from the south. About twelve miles of railway have still to be built before we get the Canadian National railway down there, but as far as I can see there is no intention of building it this summer.
Complaint is being made that we cannot get men to do this work, that there is no labour available. In this connection I will read an extract from a letter received by me from the secretary of the- recently organized mining company who, as I have already said, have spent somp $80,000 in development work:
I received your letter to-day and was pleased to get news regarding the railway. I note what you say regarding the labour situation. I have been deluged with requests to obtain work for men and teams on this line. We have been in the dry belt for the last three years and the farmers are only too anxious to get out and make some money with their teams. We can supply ail teams and the men to grade this road if the Canadian National railway will lay the ties and steel and oversee the work. Don't let them bluff you on the labour situation on this line.
Now this coal field is within two hundred miles of the city of Regina, and we want to buy that fuel but cannot get it. The city of Winnipeg also would be only too glad if these mines were developed, but it can be readily understood that with the mines eight miles from a railway it is utterably impossible for the company in question to develop them. Yet the mines are right at our doors and we have no means of doing what we want to do. If these mines in Saskatchewan were under the control of the Provincial Government I am quite satisfied that that Government, would quickly take the necessary action to place this coal within the reach of the people who want to buy it. Of course, I quite understand that the railway companies do not want these mines opened. They would prefer to collect rates on freight coming six hundred, seven hundred or eight hundred miles away rather than .-on freight coming a distance of only two or three hundred miles. The former is quite an inducement for' them; and that is one of the things we have had to contend with in days gone by to a far greater extent than some of you people in the East have any idea of. I urge the Government to adopt a policy calculated to bring this coal within our reach just as soon as they possibly can.


Mr. H. A. MACKIE:: What is the quality of the coal that the hon. gentleman has

been speaking of? Has he an analysis of it?


Walter Davy Cowan: The thickness of the seam is seventeen feet but I have not the analysis before me. When this debate is over, however, I will procure and submit the analysis to the hon. gentleman. It demonstrates that this is not bituminous coal such as Alberta possesses.


Henry Arthur Mackie: I do not want the information personally, I want the country to get it.


Walter Davy Cowan: I can easily obtain it for the hon. gentleman. My view is this: There is room for the development in Western Canada of every coal mine we have got. The progress of the country has been, and will be, such that it will take everything that every coal mine there can produce to keep up with the demand for coal. If we can make our people generally satisfied and put them into a prosperous condition every mine in the province will have all that it can do.
But it is not merely coal mines that we want to see developed in our country. We want a development policy also with respect to our farm products. So much has been heard about No. 1 Hard wheat that some people think the province of Saskatchewan cannot raise anything but that cereal. There was a time probably when we did not do much more than raise No. 1 Hard wheat, but we are very quickly getting away from that type of farming. I am glad to see it because personally I am one who does not believe in putting all our eggs into one basket. A short time ago I asked the Board of Trade of Regina to give me a statement showing what they thought could be done in the way of industrial development in Western Canada. Now all Boards of Trade are generally pretty sensible bodies of men and when you come to the Board of Trade of Regina you have got something pretty good. ' The Board of Trade has declared:
Another very important industry in the development of this country are cold storage and packing plants. Saskatchewan has at the present time 352,989 cows, 926,342 other cattle, 134,177 sheep. 521,240 swine and 8,000,000 chickens. The total value of livestock, including poultry, of all descriptions, is $271,377,044, and not an abattoir or packing plant of any size in the country. It is true there is a small packing plant at Moose Jaw, one at Prince Albert and one in Regina, but these are totally inadequate to take care of the needs of that industry in the province.
In the year 1917. as compared with 1916, Saskatchewan more than doubled the number 65
of cattle marketed. Of cattle, hogs and sheep Saskatchewan marketed 303,254 head, as compared with Manitoba's 229,292 and Alberta's 144,734. Manitoba's increase for the year over 1916 was 33,825, Alberta's increase was 52,361; combined increase for the provinces of Manitoba and Alberta, 85,186. Saskatchewan's increase alone was 93,545, thus, notwithstanding the splendid increase made by Manitoba and Alberta, Saskatchewan did better than either or both combined.
And not an abattoir or packing plant of any size in the whole province! I wish those words could reach a few of our wealthier men, to show them what a splendid opportunity presents itself there for the investment of some of their money. I feel satisfied they would make just as big profits out of plants established in Regina as they do out of many of the plants which they have here.


An Hon. MEMBER:: What about Calgary?


Walter Davy Cowan: I do not care whethei they establish plants in Regina or anywhere else so long as they get them in Western Canada. I want to see the whole of Western Canada prosperous by the development of our natural resources. I am sure that Calgary Will not object to see Regina prosperous, and I know we are very glad to see Calgary going ahead. I believe Calgary by reason of its splendid situation and its natural advantages-water powers all around, timber within easy distance, and situated on the edge of the greatest market on the continent-I say I believe that Calgary is destined to be one of the largest industrial cities on the North American continent. Provided, of course, that the people of Calgary get busy and take advantage of the opportunities confronting them. If instead of developing those opportunities they sit around idle and apathetic, of course they will not get anywhere.
I have stated why I am supporting the resolution offered by the member for Fort William (Mr. Manion). We have unlimited natural opportunities in the West. Our clays are unquestionably the best in the world for manufacturing pottery of all kinds. If any hon. member doubts my statement, let him read the records of the Department of Agriculture. I remember, a little more than two years ago at a meeting of the city Commissioners of Regina, a bright young man came before us. He told us that he had been for the past three years representing the Dominion Government in investigating the clay deposits of the province of Saskatchewan, and he said: I thought I would come in -and tell you that, in my opinion, you have the best clays that


can be found anywhere for the manufacture of pottery. I wish to draw the attention of the Government and of the investing public to the fact so that those natural resources may be developed.
In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, I wish to cite the opinion of a geologist in reference to our asphaltum, and,I would like it to sink into the- minds of hon. inembers. My authority is Dr. Bosworth, a British geologist, who is now chief geologist for the Imperial Oil Company. He published a brief account of his findings in Northern Alberta in the "Petroleum World" of February 1916, in which occurs the following paragraph:
" The exposure of asphaltum visible along this river is greater than all the other known asphaltic outcrops, pitch lakes and oil seepages in the world put together."
Yet we are doing absolutely nothing with those resources ! That is what I object to. Seemingly we have no policy at all so far as our natural resources are concerned. I ' urge upon the Government to take this matter up as quickly as they can in order that they may adopt a policy for the development of these great natural resources, or if the Government do not feel justified in developing them directly, I would suggest that they take measures to bring before the investing public the fact that these opportunities are awaiting men of capital and enterprise and will ensure them magnificent returns.


Mr. D. L. REDMAN (East Calgary):: Mr. Speaker, I presume I will not be out of order in prefacing the few remarks I have to offer by approaching the subject from the viewpoints of people holding diverse political creeds. I think we can now unhesitatingly come to the conclusion that we have passed the time when individualism was the groundwork of all political policy, and when it was dogmatically said that laissez faire was the only policy for Governments. The last four years of the war unquestionably demonstrated what governments are able to do in some respects. It may be urged that governments in developing natural resources are verging on Socialism, which is the other extreme. It seems to me that such a contention would not be well founded, because the socialistic doctrine as we now have it from one end of the world to the other is based on the form of government at present in control in Russia, and although the advocates of Socialism call it by different names, they all agree on the fundamentals of the Soviet government.

But between those two extremes there is a legitimate field for governmental endeavour. We have seen in the last few years how such countries as Germany and the United States went ahead industrially a great deal faster than Great Britain. In this connection, I may say that I have no qualms of conscience in benefiting from such lessons as Germany before the "war was able to give us. While references to the war are perhaps becoming somewhat obsolete,
I know our soldiers never hesitated to take from the German soldiers any new fighting wrinkles they might have, whilst giving the enemy some of their own. I believe that if to-day we adopt some such middle course as government supervision or assistance in developing our natural resources, we will be taking a sound course and one which will greatly rbdound to the advantage of Canada.
Through accident, or it may be through policy, as one may care to view it, we have to-day control of a very extensive railway system and are rapidly completing the building of a magnificent merchant marine. Having got thus far, we must develop our natural resources and our exportable products if we are to make our railway and our fleet pay their way.
We have to-day a further incentive to action in that we have a national debt of over two billion dollars, and it seems to me in no way can we liquidate that indebtedness with greater certainty than by adopting the sound policy of developing our natural resources. I need only point out the example of Ontario, where the stumpage charges are bringing an enormous revenue into the provincial treasury.
With a policy of developrnent, if the work is done under private ownership, the question of definite royalties and payments of that sort arises, and these should bring in substantial revenues to the State. There is no other country in which the natural resources are greater than those of Canada in proportion to population, and therefore I have no difficulty in coming to the conclusion that we stand on firm ground when we say that it is a good general policy for the Government to develop its natural resources, to give assistance possibly to private persons who go into that business, and in any event to have a strong policy, a policy which should bring this country to the financial condition to which it is entitled much earlier than would be reached under ordinary conditions. It is true that we have a policy at present; that we have done something. We have the Advisory

Council for Scientific and Industrial research, -which is doing good work so far as it goes. We have the Department of Mines which is doing excellent work, the Geological Survey Branch, the Commission of Conservation and other similiar institutions; but we have never given these bodies sufficient power or scope to enable them to carry on their work properly. I believe I am correct in stating that if any private business corporation owned the resources of this country, they would not have this more or less haphazard and immature policy of development which now pertains in Canada; a private enterprise with these vast resources at their disposal would go at them in a scientific and businesslike way, because we must all realize to-day that one thing which the war has brought forward is this, that the chemists and chemistry in business have come to the front as they never have before. Therefore, the Government would be well advised in bringing forward a definite, firm and comprehensive policy. There may be those who will say that at present, when the war is just over, we should not spend large sums of money on this sort of work; but I do not think that is sound economics, because only by spending large sums can you bring about greater development and get a revenue larger than any sum you might spend. To be penny wise and pound foolish is not good policy.
Then there comes the question which has already been discussed by other speakers, that of handing over our resources to the provinces. I will say, without hesitation, that this is something which should be done. It is something which has been promised, and that promise should be implemented, but I am concerned not so much with that aspect of the question as with the fact that something should be done now. Let some decision be reached whereby either the Dominion Government or the provincial governments will realize their responsibilities and will be able to bring down now a policy for the years that are to *come. The point in regard to that question is that something definite should be done now; but as nothing has been done, the responsibility to-day is the responsibility of the Dominion Government, and to that Government we, therefore, address any remarks which we may have to make. If the Dominion Government should, in the near future, hand over to the western provinces their natural resources, there still remains for the Dominion Government a great field in the way of industrial research, of standardization, of exporting the results of
these developments, and to all these problems the Dominion Government could very well give considerable attention.
It is natural, in speaking of this subject, that I should refer mainly to Alberta from which I come. It is true that up to date our basic industry has been agriculture; and while I may not have all the facts in connection with this subject at my disposal, it appears to me that the Government must have a policy for exporting our wheat from that part of the country next year. I do not know where that wheat will be sold, except such portions of our high grade wheat as are required in the United States to mix with their wheat, unless it be sold on the continent of Europe, and I do not know of any country there which is able to finance its purchases, except by accepting the very great difference in exchange which now exists and which, as a rule, you will find them unwilling to accept. The Government must realize not only that they will have to handle this situation next year, but that they must take care of the export, of that equally important feature of agriculture, namely, the cattle industry. I can see no fundamental difference between the agricultural industry and the live-stock industry; we can never develop Western Canada as a wheat-growing country alone and at the same time expect that our soil will last for years to come; we must have both the cattle and the wheat. We cannot consume all the cattle which we already raise and the surplus must be exported in some way or another. Whether we shall have to revert to barter and exchange or accept long term notes of foreign governments, we must, if we wish to keep our wheat - and cattle business on the basis on which we now have it and at which the extent of our land and the fertility of our soil demand that we carry it, face that difficulty now.
There is also in Southern Alberta the question of irrigation. A large tract of .land is there mapped out ready for irrigation, and while I am not prepared at this moment to say what is the duty of the Dominion Government, or the duty of the provincial government in connection with that matter, the Dominion Government should at all times be ready to co-operate with the provincial government in bringing along that much needed development.
What I wish to speak of more especially to-day is the mineral potentialities and possibilities of Alberta. One, perhaps, gets the impression that Alberta and the other Western Provinces are entirely agricultural provinces, but that is far from the truth.

Last year Alberta was the third province in the Dominion of Canada as regards its mineral output, and in 1918, the output of minerals in Alberta amounted to $23,000,000.
It is true that we have had no exhaustive survey of our iron ores in that province, but iron ore indications are in evidence right from the Crow's Nest Pass up through Calgary to the far North where on the lakes large quantities of iron are to be found. It is very possible that we shall find that iron to be of a low grade, and it is for this Government to deal with the question whether low grade iron can be scientifically reduced as a commerical venture. I hope I shall not weary the House if I read just a very few lines from the report of the Honorary Advisory Committee on Scientific and Industrial research in regard to this question. The report states:
The investigation of the reduction of iron ores by gases, under the supervision of Professor Stansfield, of McGill University, has advanced to a stage which promises important results bearing on the utilization of ores of low grades so abundant in Canada. There is but a small supply of high grade iron ore in the Dominion, which is emphasized by the fact that 96 per cent of all the iron ore smelted in Canada is imported, this importation including, of course, that obtained from Belle Isle, Newfoundland. The total quantity of high grade iron ore on the Globe available is, through its use for producing iron and steel, diminishing at a rate which makes its exhaustion a not far distant event, and in consequence it will eventually be necessary to turn to those of lower grades for the supply of ore for the industry. If the smelting could be effected on an industrial scale at a reduction in the cost which would offset the disadvantages at present attendant on the utilization of these lower grade ores it would make available, immediately or in the very near future, the immense quantities of such ores in Canada. The Research Council regards the solution of this problem as of very great importance to Canadian industry and as justifying a protracted experimental investigation carried on on a large scale.
The reason why I have read this is that I think the Government should make a most thorough survey of the possibilities of iron ore in Alberta. They should not hesitate in aiding scientific men in endeavouring to reduce those low grade ores as a commerical venture, because if that can be done, we have in Alberta coal which is practically illimitable in quantity and easy to mine, but which is now valueless because -we have no use to which to put it. Possibly when these investigations proceed further, it will be found that Alberta will be an excellent place in which to put those investigations into operation first, because with coal which is practically valueless and

in such abundant quantities that you can go into practically any area of the province and erect your plant, sink your shaft and get your fuel, it is possible that low grade ores can be handled economically as an industrial proposition. The House has heard many times how much coal we have in Alberta. We have in that province onte-eighth of all the coal in the world. It is not all lignite; it is anthracite, bituminous and lignite in practically unlimited quantities. Those who are perhaps not familiar with our lignite coal think that it is in the nature of a new experimental substance which one can use for heat, but it is real coal after all.
It is an excellent coal for domestic use, just as good as, and in my opinion better than, any kind of anthracite or bituminous coal. In 1918 our production of coal amounted to 6,000.000 tons, the highest of any province in Canada.
Two things are required in order to increase the development of our coal in the province of Alberta. One is to extend the market area, and the other is to encourage coal using industries in that province. With regard to the extension of our market area, that brings us to the question of our railways. I am not one of those who would be continuously clamouring for reduced rates in order to please the people of this country, but I do say this: When rates can be reduced and the result from such reduction shall be the development of natural resources which will increase the commodities which the railways will haul, I think we are talking pretty sound economics when we ask that such reductions be made. 'It is true that the railways, requiring traffic westward, desire to bring anthracite coal to Western Canada from Port William and have wheat as a return haul from the West. It is against that influence that it will be necesary for us to fight. The Drumheller association of coal operators have made a most reasonable request to the Railway Commission lately to this effect:	That "during the months of
April, May, June, July and August, when no wheat is moving, and when cars and equipment are standing idle throughout Western Canada awaiting the time when they will be used for hauling the crop, some reduction be made in the coal rate from Alberta down to Port Arthur. That would serve three purposes. First, it would utilize the railway equipment; secondly, it would enable the mines to run the year round, and thirdly, it would obviate the difficulty which occurs every winter when the whole of West-

ern Canada tries to be supplied at the one time with coal from the mines, and often without success. It has been proven that our coal will stand up for six months, and it seems to me a reasonable and proper policy for the Railway 'Commission or the Government to reduce the rate during this period in order to get these three excellent results. Our vision perhaps soars to the day when we will supply the country further east than Fort William. If the carbonizing and briquetting experiments which are now being conducted on Saskatchewan coal are successful, they will unquestionably be successful with Alberta coal, and with those experiments a success our coal in the form of briquettes, equal in heating value and every other respect to anthracite would surely come east of Fort William and go a long way towards bridging the great central part of Canada which in 1918 imported no less than $71,000,000 worth of coal from the United States.
In connection with the briquetting process we have the by-products of distillation. We get tar, on which is built up the analine dye industry. In view of the quantity of coal we have in Alberta, if we can get that coal produced, briquetted, and sold, we will have an enormous quantity of this tar base on which to build up our analine dye industry. Ammonia sulphate is also derived in large quantities during this process of distillation, and at the rate we are tilling the soil in the West it will be only a few years before we shall need this excellent fertilizer in that country.
In Alberta we have the Alberta Industrial Congress. It is an association for the purpose of attracting industry to Western Canada. Some may think that we are a little early, but it must be remembered that we have already on the plains of Western Canada about two and a half millions of people, which is a rather good market for young industries to start on. We have coal which is practically theirs for the asking. We have every expectation that our population will not only increase, but multiply itself in the next twenty-five years. I think it should be part of the Government policy to attract attention towards the industrial possibilities of Western Canada. It is true that the Government have voted a sum towards that congress for this year. While on this point, I think we could well afford to have one on the Pacific coast, a Pacific trade commission similar to the trade commission operating on the Eastern coast. I know from personal experience what a great trade could be worked up with the Orient, and I
would direct the attention of the Government to those possibilities.
We have cement, water powers, lumber and pulpwood in great quantities throughout that country, but as other hon. members have spoken of these resources I shajl say nothing further about them.
Our clay products in Alberta are of the very greatest importance. In 1918 Canada imported $6,700,000 of clay products, and Alberta produced in that year $381,000 worth. I am certain there is a great future for the development of pottery, bricks, and clay products in that province.
Then we come to the question of oil. The pursuit of oil is very similar to the pursuit of gold. It is one thing which seems to stimulate the imagination and energies of mankind more than anything else, and many incidents are bound to happen in the development of an oil field. I believe it often takes from twenty to twenty-five years of prospectirfg and drilling before an oil field is established. In Alberta we produced in 1918 over $100,000 worth of oil, all of which has been sold. We can say that the indications from one end of the province to the other, starting from the asphaltum sands, and going almost down to the fields of Montana, show that we have enormous oil resources in that country. The Government then can come to the conclusion that they have an oil field in Alberta. What should they do to develop it? Should they endeavour to explore and drill and develop it themselves, and then turn it over to good advantage to private companies? Perhaps that would not be an unwise policy. It is a matter for the consideration of the Government. The Government have already provided that leases shall only be granted on payment of a royalty to the Government. I think the Government made a mistake in not placing a maximum on that royalty. As it is, it is to be fixed by the Governor in Council from time to time as it may determine. You go to a firm and ask them to start work in that country, and they will say to you: Until the amount of royalty is fixed we do not know where we are at. There is no easier way of losing money than by sinking it into holes from which you get nothing. Those who spend large sums of money are entitled to know what, royalty the Government intends to take. I want it to be understood, however, that I am thoroughly in accord with the policy of taking a royalty.

There is another matter in regard to oil. Alberta does not participate in the bounty of one and a half cents per gallon which the more favoured oil of Ontario gets. Our oil is of such a superior quality, it is of such low specific gravity, that it does not come within the qualifications set forth in the Order in Council governing the bounty. Though it is true that our oil is worth three times as much per gallon as the oil of Ontario, we are not asking that we be given three times as much bounty, but simply that our oil be not discriminated against, and that in that area which is not yet developed, and where men are needed to go on with the enterprise, no discrimination be made against us.
Natural gas exists in Alberta in unlimited quantities. This is not so important immediately, because it can only be used as the population increases and a donrestic market is built up. I might point out that it has lately beep discovered that from the Calgary gas field alone a quantity of helium valued at $3,000,000 could be extracted annually. At the present moment this new gas is going- up the chimney. The cost of a plant to save this product will, I understand, not exceed $200,000, and the use to which this gas can be put is becoming increasingly wide.
At this point I want to make this statement: Eastern Canada asks us from time to time to buy its produce, probably at a little higher price than the produce of the United States, in order that we may develop Canadian industries, and that the workmen of Eastern Canada may be assured of a livelihood. We may be willing to do this, but at least we ask that if people from the East request these things of us they shall in return assist us in marketing our commodities and extending our coal market, and in increasing the production of the natural resources of our western country. This strikes me as a most fair proposition, and one that is well worthy of consideration by the Government. It is also one that might well be carried out to allay, .to some extent, the present feeling that they are being unfairly dealt with, which exists in Western Canada.
In conclusion, let me express the opinion that there are some definite things that could be done. A request was made that a Natural Resources Bureau should be created, a Bureau of Scientific Investigation and Scientific Standards,, similar to that which exists in the United States and largely similar to that in England. It ap-

pekrs to me that the evidence taken last year before the special committee is undoubtedly sufficient to convince us that our industrial development would be greatly benefited by the institution of such a bureau. Some permanent policy of development should be undertaken by the Government and, if necessary, some responsible minister of the Crown should be in charge. I think that we should have a "national consciousness" driving towards the development of our resources, and that our policy should be complete. It should not be haphazard but comprehensive. With that stimulus and inspiration from the Government, private enterprise would feel a great deal safer; and with a sound policy behind it, capital would be disposed to go in for the development of the country's natural resources. Our geological surveys of the various ores and minerals of the country should be more thorough. Our investigations into the briquetting of lignite and the reduction of low-grade irbn ores should be exhaustive, and we should not be parsimonious in our expenditures in providing help to our scientists engaged in this work. I believe that if the Government would realize the industrial potentialities of Western Canada and bring down a sound and strong policy, our natural resources would be developed and you would have in Alberta not a one-sided community, not a community with one line of industry alone, but a well-balanced community which would have within itself all those varied lines of endeavour which exist in Eastern Canada. Under such circumstances, you would have a community that would think in the same terms as do the people of Eastern Canada. The day is not far distant when we shall have twenty or twenty-five million people in Western Canada. Immigrants are coming from all parts of the world. We want to be, above all else, Canadians, and the development of the natural resources of Western Canada will put an end foreveT, I think, to the annexationist and the secessionist, whether he carries on his propaganda under the political or under the economic guise.


Mr. F. H. KEEFER (Port Arthur and Kenora):: Permit me to say a few words in support of this motion. I should like, instead of speaking, on the matter generally, to confine myself to one particular resource, and that is iron, which is one of the most important basic elements of industry. Let me lay down a few facts. In the first place, we have in Canada an

enormous supply of low-grade iron ore; secondly, we have no high-grade iron ore. The last mine we found was the Helen Mine, and the high-grade ore there has been exhausted. Thirdly, of the total .amount of iron ore that is used in this country, viz., over two million tons only four per cent is mined here. We might ask ourselves the question, why is it that with millions of tons of iron ore only four per cent is mined in Canada, notwithstanding that private capital and governmental enterprise have endeavoured to get it into the market? The answer is rather simple; it is because our ore is low-grade, and we must do something to raise its metallic content; in other words, we must get it into commercial use. Otherwise, that ore will lie undeveloped until high-grade ores in other parts of the world are exhausted, and in the meanwhile Canada will have to depend upon outside countries for its ores.
The question is, is that advisable? Is it worth while for us to consider the advisability of mining our own iron ore and trying to get the ninety-six per cent taken out in our own country? What are the benefits derivable from the mining of iron ore? First of all, the wages are spent in the country. Probably for every ton of ore mined, three or four dollars is spent in wages and supplies, and to-day that is all going out of this country. Of course, it goes without saying that this state of things is not advisable if it can be remedied. The railway, earnings on that iron ore are also going out of the country. How much better it would be if these iron deposits which are knowm to exist all along the Canadian National Railway system were developed and used, and the Canadian National deficits to that extent turned into productiveness. It is well known that the iron ore raihvays are the most profitable railways everywhere. Between the passenger receipts and additional freight receipts, the coke and lime- _ stone, etc., that enter into smelting, a reasonable amount is always to be estimated as profit where there is an iron ore railway operating. To-day we annually provide for deficits for the railway, and surely it would be better to make these railways earn money by developing the iron in the country.
Another benefit that would be derived from such development would be the increase in population. You cannot mine one or two million tons oi ore without having a large number of people engaged in connection with the work, and if we develop the industry that lies at our hand it is reasonable to assume that we could increase the population probably by fifteen or twenty thousand people, who would represent a certain national value to the treasury of Canada. Each person is known to be of some value to the state in the customs duties he pays, and the revenue which the state derives from him. It would pay to subsidize iron ore production in Canada. If we did we would also get a national benefit through increased railway revenues and the general prosperity of the country, and furthermore wTe would at once remove our present complete dependence on the United States. All of our iron ore in Ontario now practically comes from the United States. We are far from the Maritime Provinces. They get their ore from Newfoundland. Ontario must get hers from the United States. The time is not very far off when they may put -an embargo upon iron ore as they have done upon coal, and for two or three years we will be helpless until we develop our low grade iron ore. It seems to me that we cannot be very far wrong in urging the development of our ores now.
Another benefit that would accrue from it would be that which we would derive in connection with the question of exchange. We are paying for this iron ore to come into the country from the United States. We are also paying something like $150,000,000 per annum for steel and iron products from the United States. If as a result of a little inducement, additional to what there is now, to develop our low grade ores, and perhaps thereby find some high grade ores, we get into this country three or four more iron mills operating, increasing the general prosperity in that business and producing that much in our own country, we are benefiting the country and we are not sending out all that money to buy these products.
There is another point that should not be lost sight of. There is a difference between mining iron and mining coal, in that every ton of coal that is mined and used is lost to the country at large except only that which has been used in making something else. But when a ton of iron ore is dug out of the ground and put into circulation the country is that much richer. It does not disappear. It is something which goes on from one form to another continuously until it oxidizes away, which takes a long while. The country is richer for every ton of iron ore that is dug out of the ground and which iremains on top of the ground.

We are paying subsidies to almost everything-to railways, cables, zinc, lead, and oil. We are talking about subsidies to flax. We pay subsidies to agriculture in that we maintain experimental farms and spend $4,000,000 or $5,000,000 a year upon them, and rightly so. Surely we could spend a million or two in subsidizing the production of iron ore in this country. If we gave a dollar a ton by way of subsidy for every ton of iron ore that was produced and smelted in Canada we would get it back and we would simply be doing for that industry what we are doing for many others.
I do not wish to take up the time of the House further than to say that I believe that that this is a time when Canada should map out a forward policy in regard to its natural resources and particularly in regard to its low grade iron. We know we have low grade iron. We have not been able to find the high grade iron, but we have hundreds of millions of tons of low grade. The sooner we develop a forward policy (even to the extent of subsidizing), getting that iron upon the market, getting our own people working upon it in our own country and spending what we have here instead of outside, the better it will be for our country. I do sincerely trust that the Government will at this session give this matter its most careful consideration and that it will realize that for every dollar that we spend in benefiting the iron ore industry it will get more than a dollar paid back into its own treasury.


Mr. W. A. BUCHANAN (Lethbridge):: Mr. Speaker, the hour of adjournment is near at hand, but I do not want the discussion to close without making some observations on a question which I consider as important as any that we have discussed in the House this session. Any member of the House who may have had doubts about the natural resources of this country should have had them removed as a result of the enlightening addresses which have been made by the members who have preceded me. I am going to confine my remarks to the coal resources of this country. I had intended making a few observations on some other of the resources that exist in the province of Alberta but I do not think I will have time to do so this afternoon. We have been reading in the press lately-and I presume the people who live in the province of Ontario have been reading it with a great deal of fear-about the probable cost of coal in this province next year. The coal supply of Ontario is in the state of Pennsylvania, and there is no doubt that that sup-
[Mr. Keefer. 1
ply is being gradually and perhaps rapidly, depleted. Ontario and Quebec must look for a new source of supply for coal. I do not know whether the House is familiar with the fact that in the province of Alberta, which is generally known as a wheat growing and stock raising province, we have 87 per cent of the coal resources of the Dominion of Canada, and that it is estimated that that province has within the same area the largest coal resources of any place in the- world. I am not advancing that as a promoter of mining schemes; I am simply quoting the facts that are given to us by the authorities in the Department of Mines of the Federal Government.
When we s; eak of Ontario and its need of fuel we naturally think of Albeita and its great resources. The Government here, and the provincial governments, will have to do something to bring western coal into Eastern Canada. I admit at once that the present price of western coal transported from Alberta into Ontario, would be so high as to prevent the people of Ontario from considering its general use for fuel purposes, but I believe it is possible to overcome some of the obstacles that do exist in this regard. I believe that Ontario and Quebec can stave off the possibility of the depletion of their supply from Pennsylvania if they co-operate in encouraging the use in Western Canada entirely of Western Canadian coal. At the present time we know that in Manitoba, Pennsylvania coal is used to a very great extent. If that supply was cut off from Manitoba the western mines could have a market which would help them, while at the same time, it would relieve the consumers in the Eastern Provinces. I have been advised that even the Dominion Government, in asking for tenders for coal for some of their buildings in Manitoba, stipulate that it must be Pennsylvania coal; so that they are not encouraging the use of western Canadian coal.
What does it mean to Western Canada - to have the market of the three Western Provinces?-I am not speaking of British Columbia because British Columbia has its own coal. We have been accustomed in this Parliament to hear of of the industrial troubles in the mines of Alberta practically every year.
One of the reasons for our industrial troubles is the lack of a permanent market. As the situation stands at the present time, coal is mined in Alberta almost wholly during the early fall and winter months. When we come to the spring and summer months the mines are closed and the min-

ers have to go out and look for work in other occupations. Under circumstances of that kind you cannot expect to have settled conditions in the industrial world in so far as it concerns the miners. I believe that even with coal mining developed to the extent to which it has been in Alberta-and I may say that under existing conditions there is no doubt that the coal mines have been developed to double the capacity of the market that is offered their output-if the governments, the railways, and the' commercial organizations were to get together and try to reach an arrangement whereby the coal produced in Western Canada could be utilized to the greatest possible extent throughout the Western Provinces, the result feould not but be beneficial to the country at large. Because if we had the market in Manitoba which at present is supplied by Pennsylvania coal it would help o maintain the coal mines on the prairies in operation duiing the greater part of the year.
Another matter I would like to emphasize in this connection is, the question of transportation. At present our coal is being mined and shipped at about the same time that our grain is being shipped, consequently the railroads are -not dn a position to Ihgndle coal satisfactorily and cheaply. If we were able to have summer mining of coal in Alberta, the railroads should be in a position to haul the coal much more cheaply than they do at the present time, because it would be >a slack season in transportation eastward. All that is necessary in that regard is to educate the consumer and the dealer in Winnipeg and 'in other western cities to store- coal in the summer for use in the winter.
Might I also mention the fact, which has been advanced by people who have investigated the coal industry in Alberta, that if it was possible to operate the mines month in and month out during the year, whereby thg miners would have steady occupation and a regular income, it would be possible to produce coal a good deal cheaper than it is produced at the present time.
The points I have urged should be kept in mind: there should be encouragement of the use of Western Canada coal dn the West in order to help the eastern provinces in obtaining their supply from Pennsylvania; a solution of the transportation problem should be provided by the operation of the mines in the summer months thus guaranteeing steady employment to , the miners; and a campaign of education should be conducted to establish to the 66
people in the extreme parts of Western Canada that the coal produced on the prairies, or at least a great -amount of it, compares very favourably with the coal produced in the state of Pennsylvania. I know that from experience because I have lived in Ontario and used Pennsylvania coal. I have been using Pennsylvania coal in this city during the past winter, and I certainly do not consider that the coal mined in the southern part of the province of Alberta takes any secondary place to the coal produced in Pennsylvania. But we must educate the people to the need of using our western coal.
Another point I would like to bring out is this; it would be important, in order to educate the people and get them to use Western Canada coal, to grade the coal because as it is at present all Western Canada coals go on the market and they are ''considered to be prairie coal and are bought as though they were all alike, and of course that is not the case. Certain of oiir Western Canada coals are of much higher quality than others and if there was a grading of coal it would be very helpful in educating people to their use.
I presume the Acting Prime Minister is desirous of making some observations on the resolution that we have been discussing this afternoon, and therefore I do not want to unduly extend my remarks although I had intended speaking at much greater length on the question of our resources.


An hon. MEMBER:: Move the adjournment of the debate.
Mr. BELA'ND: That would kill the debate, we should never reach it again. "


William Ashbury Buchanan: It has been suggested that I should move the adjournment of the debate.


George Green Foster: The hon. gentleman can speak until six o'clock if he wishes.


William Ashbury Buchanan: We are asking this Government to encourage the development _of coal and all the natural resources that we possess in this country. I might point out the fact that to-day individuals as well as companies are investing probably all their means in the development of our natural resources throughout Western Canada. Men are going up into the mountains and looking for ore. They are going about the prairies searching for oil. They 'are investing their money in digging wells in the effort to obtain oil, and. in rnanj* instances they are exhausting their entire



financial resources for that purpose. I think therefore it is only right that we should ask not only the Federal Government, but the Provincial Governments where they are in control of the natural resources, to encourage in every possible way the development of our natural resources.
What is the need of Canada at the present time? We have a great, debt in this country. How are we going to meet it? We are told to produce. We can produce in the factories, on the land, and in the mines of this country. We have great natural resources that only need to be developed in order to enrich this country; and if we could only develop those resources to the extent of one-fourth of their value at the present time we would have no trouble in meeting our obligations as a nation. There is no cause for any person in this country to be discouraged about the future of Canada. All we need to do is to move around this Dominion to realize the great resources we possess; and we cannot help but become prouder of our country and cannot help but glory in the fact that in Canada we have as great wealth and as great opportunities as are to be found in any land in the world to-day. What is requisite is to encourage the development of those resources, and give an opportunity to the people to take advantage of the wealth that is in the country, and there will be no need for the Government to worry about the future of Canada and no need for the honest, capable and ambitious citizen of Canada to worry' about it either.


John Archibald Campbell: Now that six o'clock has been reached; may I ask, what will become of this debate?


The DEPUTY SPEAKER:: Government
Orders have precedence to-morrow. Under Rule 33 the motion which is being debated shall stand first on the Order Paper under the heading of "Public Bills and Orders," and this debate, which was not adjourned, may be continued at the first sitting of the House at which Public Bills and Orders are called.
At six o'clock the House adjourned, without question being put, pursuant to rule.
